Kate indeed behaves this way but there is a trick you might want to borrow: it
won't use the selection as a search target if exceeds a certain size while
writer will cheerfully try to copy anything up to the whole document into the
single line search field. Just for the fun of it, tried pressing ^F with a
170,000 line selection - you should try it too to see how good the current
concept is.

I am sorry to say that, but it looks like you are making choices in favour of
casual users and 3-line test cases. Also, for the most google or MS solutions
are a de-facto standard.
